Famous Liberal Inadvertently Tells Republicans EXACTLY Why They Should Vote for 'Dangerous' Cruz
IJReview ^ | February 22, 2016 | Mike Miller

Posted on 02/22/2016 11:21:30 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor in the Clinton Administration, has created a video in which he warns Democrats why Ted Cruz is far more "dangerous" than Donald Trump.

In other words, Reich, who serves as Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, all but endorsed Cruz as the candidate of choice for conservatives.

As he spoke, he drew pictures of Cruz and Trump on a flip-chart and jotted down what he considers to be Cruz's "dangerous" positions:

It's really so over the top terrific.

The Left always tells you who they fear but Robert Reich's 2:00 video rant is a whole new level of fear. [Posted Feb 19, 2016, approaching 160,000 views]

After watching the REICH RANT watch this [it's why they fear Ted Cruz and call him dangerous] and share it:

LEAKED: The Story of Ted Cruz [approaching 1M views]

****************************************************

AND IT ISN'T JUST THE LEFT who FEARS Ted Cruz.

But CONSERVATIVE voices are taking it to the airways:

Mark Levin on The Five: "The hate for Ted Cruz, the love for Marco Rubio is UNMISTAKABLE"

"Mark Levin opened his show tonight pounding the media, including Fox News, for constantly playing us with their pro-Rubio analysis on the elections. He even said that he had to turn off The Five today because, as he put it, "the hate for Ted Cruz, the love for Marco Rubio is unmistakable."

Here's how he characterized the media's treatment of Marco Rubio:

No matter what place Marco Rubio comes in, he's the winner.

No matter what place Marco Rubio comes in, he has the wind at his back.

No matter what place Marco Rubio comes in, he's poised to win.

He came in 3rd, 5th, and 2nd by a hair. He's won nothing. He barely won second place in South Carolina. That's the best he's done in three states.

Levin went on to explain this in more detail and then proceeded to hammer Rubio for his dishonest campaign tactics, via his article today called Levin: Stop The Lies, Marco."...

What mistake? Hillary wants Cruz because she can beat him.

Reich makes this video to make conservatives want Cruz over Trump.

Jeez, look at the RESULTS, not the accompanying bullsh!t!

Reich misrepresented at least couple of Cruz’s positions at a quick glance at that childish poster he drew.

“No divide church and state” and “2nd amendment - EVERYONE guns” (whatever the hell that means) are immediately apparent.

He also wrote “originalist view of Constitution” as if that were a bad thing.

The Democrats know Trump is ultimately one of them and certainly doesn’t support conservative ideas.

Yes - Reich’s slips in “no divide between church and state” - I guess like all LIBS Reich LIES - it’s “no state religion” - freedom of religion not freedom from religion.

Voting for Trump .... IS voting for a SOCIALIST DemocRAT ... that's PRETENDING TO BE a Republican.

And voting for Marco "Gang of Eight PRO-AMNESTY BILL" Rubio IS no better !
Here's a few FACTS about Marco "Gang of Eight PRO-AMNESTY BILL" Rubio. Marco "Gang of Eight PRO-AMNESTY BILL" Rubio has many accomplishments, of which, he can be proud of NONE OF THEM !

Heh, I heard that on the radio today.

If I thought for a moment that Cruz REALLY was the person Robert (Third) Reich said he is, and would actually do even half of the ‘bad’ things Reich said he would do, I’d be volunteering to work for his campaign and sending him all the money I have.

Why should they fear Trump. Trump is one of them and will bend over and play kissy kissy with them to make deals.

Yes Trumpanzees this is his own words. Your fearless leader is a charlatan, a wolf in sheeps clothing who will sell you out to the liberals

They fear conservatives and they know Ted Cruz is the real deal that will give them holy hell 100% of the time

Ted Cruz Files Amendment To Deny Path To Citizenship As Senate Works On Bill

......"The amendments filed today to strengthen border security and reform our legal immigration system will not only bring meaningful, effective improvements to our immigration system, but also have a chance of becoming law," said Cruz in a statement. "America is a nation of immigrants, built by immigrants and we need to honor that heritage by fixing our broken immigration system, while upholding the rule of law and championing legal immigration."

His amendments are among more than 300 filed by the Tuesday evening deadline. Republicans wanting tighter enforcement provisions filed a majority of the amendments, with Sen. Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, leading the pack with 77 amendments.

Supporters of the bill, mainly of the part of it that would legalize millions of undocumented immigrants, kept a steady drumbeat in defense of the measure though emails, websites and social media.

In a press release, America's Voice, a leading national group that advocates for more lenient immigration laws, singled out Cruz's anti-citizenship amendment as particularly worrisome.

"This would not only destroy the path to citizenship in the Senate bill - the popular heart of an immigration reform solution - but also turn its back on 100 years of precedent in immigration policy," said the release..........

************************************

Dec 17, 2015: Politico

Who's right: Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio?

"....The bipartisan group of eight senators - including battle-tested veterans and relative newcomers like Rubio - painstakingly negotiated a delicate compromise in early 2013 that would overhaul every corner of the U.S. immigration system, including a 13-year pathway to citizenship for millions here illegally.

Fans and foes of the legislation, as well as observers at the time, knew the core bill couldn't change too dramatically because that would upset that compromise, which not only had the backing of Democrats and Republicans in the Senate but also coalitions off the Hill, such as labor unions and the business lobby.

Cruz's amendment - which called for stripping out a pathway to citizenship, but keeping a path for legalization - would have done precisely that.

The night before each Senate Judiciary Committee markup, senior Gang of Eight aides would huddle to scour through each of the amendments that were teed up for the following day, determining which proposals would be palatable and which would be unacceptable. This strategy was meant to ensure the core elements of the Gang of Eight deal would stay intact (the four members of the Gang who sat on the Judiciary Committee would vote in a bloc, usually with the rest of the committee Democrats, to vote down potential deal-killers).

"This one was one that clearly we all had to oppose because it went to the core of the deal," recalled an aide to a Senate Democrat during the 2013 negotiations. "It could've unraveled the whole deal.

Sure, Cruz himself never called it a "poison pill" at the time. But no senator refers to his own proposal as a poison pill, even if it plainly is. The Gang of Eight never considered Cruz as "gettable," and it was well-known at the time that Cruz was never going to vote for the bill and was in fact, trying to kill it.".....

You don’t need to be a psychiatrist to notice how large the “arrow” is hanging beneath Cruz. Little man got a thing for Ted, I wonder? Look at all that junk down there...woof...baby please, I am not from Havana!

Ted Cruz won a majority of the youth vote in Iowa and in South Carolina, and was 2nd in NH winning the youth vote.

Cruz advocated for a border security fence long before trump.
rubio is counting on low info voters.
hopefully Cruz can take out both in the upcoming primaries

No divide between church and state is how kids are taught in school. Freedom to state your faith is now okay in Russia’s military but not in ours.
